Fall 2023 Gmu – After several decades of efforts to slow the perceived expansion of intellectual property rights (IPR) around the world, politicians and courts in a number of countries have responded by imposing more restrictions on IPR. Now that such limits have been in place for several years, researchers have been able to begin measuring the impact on innovators, creators and the economy as a whole. C-IP you
The annual fall conference brought together leading researchers, policymakers, developers and innovators to share their experiences and findings.

Many pharmacological, sui generis legislative and regulatory regimes already exist, but many more have been proposed in the last two years to facilitate the market entry of further therapeutics. Several of these proposals clearly classify certain practices involving pharmaceutical patents and other exclusivities as antitrust violations. Almost all of the remaining proposals rely explicitly or implicitly on antitrust law and theory to support the idea that limiting patent and regulatory exclusivity is necessary to lower drug prices. All these proposals are clearly based on the assumption that in the absence of this exclusivity there will be more “competition” in the pharmaceutical market.

Standard Substantial Patent (SEP) policy continues to have a major impact on innovation and growth. This panel explores some of the active issues facing IP owners today. The first is China’s use of anti-class injunctions and the subsequent response by the US and European courts. The second is the difference between the expected change in the FTC/DOJ policy on SEPs, the EU’s WTO complaint against China’s SEP policy, and potential movement in the EU’s SEP policy. The third is the extension of the SSO/FRAND licensing model to the automotive sector (which has led to antitrust issues in US courts and among EU regulators).
In anticipation of the implementation of the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the EU, regulatory instruments for interoperability, data exchange and product design control have moved to the forefront of both antitrust and IP debates. Following the EU’s lead, the US Congress is poised to pass similar legislation that will have far-reaching implications for the stimulation of innovation and fundamental intellectual rights. Now more than ever, political discussions are needed about how to have government as a gateway to digital markets and whether innovation can thrive under such a heavy-handed, regulatory approach.
For more than a decade and a half, the US patent system has been weakened by a succession of judicial and legislative actions. Economic theory and history predict that this policy trajectory will distort the innovation economy by diverting R&D dollars away from patent-dependent technology sectors. Our panelists will present data showing how VCs and technology markets have responded as expected, moving venture capital away from expensive and long-term R&D projects and into the life sciences and IT tech sectors that offer the greatest social returns.

Economic success is a key element in the growing national security competition between the US and China, and many have predicted that innovation will be at the heart of US efforts to overcome China. There is no doubt that the protection of intellectual property and its stimulating effect on the creation and expansion of the innovation economy will be critical to these efforts. This panel will discuss key aspects of these efforts.
